Recording video off the iPhone

[RoryHarvey]

Does anyone know of a method of recording video directly off the iPhone (in the style of Fraps) to make a promo trailer for my app? There must be a better method than recording the simulator or using a physical camera.

i don't know of any solutions that will capture and encode video directly on the device.

one option is to use apple av cables and record the output with video capture hardware. for this to work, you'd need to either support video out capability in your app directly or jailbreak and use one of the background screen streaming utilities.

some of the newer stuff like airplay video and screen mirroring might make this easier as well, but I haven't seen it working myself.

I got once an app for recording screen on the iPhone from Cydia on a jailbroken iPhone. It worked but the frame rate was a disaster. I got maybe something like 4 FPS. Maybe if you have new iPhone 4S then it would work better but I don't remember the name of this app.

I would also be really interested in this functionality, maybe an app idea for someone?

There is no solution for that because Apple doesn't allow it.
A friend of mine experimented with TV out capable apps and Video cables and Video Cards, but I never heared from him, that he was successful.
